If you're looking for a new water entertainment option in Missouri, you won't have to travel far as there's a new waterway opening north of St. Louis this weekend.
Two things I should make clear first. #1 - I was born and raised in northeast Missouri. #2 - I am deathly afraid of spiders. That's why I was more than a bit alarmed to learn today that there's only one thing preventing tarantulas from making their home in the northern parts of Missouri and it's not likely to be removed anytime soon.
It's not easy being a fish. If you doubt me, there's a new video share that shows the endangered lake sturgeon in Missouri are finally spawning after 7 years.
Of all the experiences in my life, float trips were among my favorites. That's one reason why I wanted to share a canoe or kayak float option that might be the most mellow I've seen in Illinois.
A Midwestern family reported their dog missing. They were astonished when they were contacted by rescuers who found her floating on an ice block in a nearby river.
I can hear the laughter already, but there really was a shark attack in Missouri. It happened back in 1996, but really wasn't something you could blame on the shark. I'll try to explain.
There are so many fun things you can do in our area. Missouri and Illinois offer great fishing and hunting opportunities. For families, there are many amusement parks within an easy day trip. Oh, and there's surfing. That's right. I can make the case that surfing in Missouri is highly underrated.
When I was a kid, I wanted to either be a baseball player for the St. Louis Cardinals or an astronaut. Neither of those life goals worked out. Now, I have a more realistic hope that someday I can wake surf the Illinois River like the most gnarly dude just did.
